ADHYAYA 1- PADA 2

sutra of interpreting the language should not be

applied to the
planets. The author means that the grahas or the
planets are
designated by their various names and never by the
letter system.
SU. 34.-Yavadwivekamavrittirbhanam. Divide Rasi
Dasas by 12 and
distribute the same to the 12 Rasis in proportion
to the Rasi Dasa
periods to get sub-periods. The counting should be
from right to left
if Lagna is odd sign and vice versa if even.
NOTES Interpreting of Viveka-Va -4 Va.-4 Ka-1-or
441 or reading in the
reverse order we get 144. All the Rasis put
together at 12 each will
come up to 144. Take the Rasi Dasa year and divide
that into 12
bhagas, multiply the Mesha Dasa Rasi by 12. Then
divide the total by
12 and the quotient will represent the Antardasa
years. Even here the
readers are advised to count and follow the odd and
even signs in the
right and left directions as has been already
explained. Sutras are
meant really for those who have bright brains.
SU. 35.-Horadayaha siddhaha. . . From the general
literature of
Astrology learn all the details about Hora,
Drekkana, Saptamsa.
Navamsa, Dwadasamsa, Trimsamsa, Shashtiamsa, etc.
NOTES Where the Maharishi does not differ from the
ordinary rules of
Astrology, he says siddaha, meaning they are ready
at hand from able
astrologers. Wherever he cuts a new path he
indicates the lines of
research on which he proceeds. These commentaries
are written by
Neelakanta and go under the name of Subodha. The
term Subodha means
that the commentaries are written in such an easy
and convincing style
that even ordinary readers and students can easily
grasp the ideas
explained by the learned commentator. I have also
consulted other
learned commentators.

SU. 1-Adhaswamsograhanam. Having determined the
Atmakaraka from among
the several planets, ascertain the results of his
Navamsa position.
NOTES Among all the planets commencing from Ravi,
find out who gets
the greatest number of degrees and minutes and
determine. as
principles already explained, who becomes the
Atmakaraka. In Sutra 11
of the first pada it has been clearly enunciated
that whichever planet
gets the highest number of degrees and minutes, he
